Few photographers have captured the vastness or the timelessness of Africa quite like Stefan Schütz. In this large album of very large photos—nearly all of them filling one or two pages, up to 23 x 11 inches—he eschews the continent's cities and highways to give us sweeping views like a sandscape dotted with ancient pyramids in the Sudan, an impenetrable carpet of green rainforest in Togo, and an enormous tree loaded with mangoes by a grass village in northern Ghana. Schütz also depicts the people that have been a part of the land for uncountable centuries, with close and engaged portraits of such Africans as a nomadic Samburu warrior, a bicycle-riding trader in Mali, and an ochre-tanned Himba woman in Namibia.
